Hi thank you! I get headaches a lot which is normal for me but I’ve been getting a lot more recently, I have POTS so getting dizzy when I stand up is also normal but also happening more frequently. The most concerning one to me is I’ve started feeling nauseous when I eat and only able to get a little food down before I feel full or like I’m going to throw up. I’ve also been going from being constipated to having diarrhea, back and forth for about a month. I don’t know if these are related at all but I’d love some insight!
Brief Answer:
Sorry to hear about these!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for these details.
I have reviewed them fully. It must be difficult for you. For POTS with increasing dizziness, I will encourage you to stay well hydrated at all times. Also, before you transition from a lying position to an upright position, I will encourage you to sit for few minutes and raise gradually.
Difficult to conclude about the meals at this time. However, I encourage you to eat frequently in small amounts. This will help combat the early satiety with consequent nausea and maybe vomiting.
How often have you had diarrhea? Is this only a couple of times or daily? Could this be related with a particular meal type?
Definitely, you would not die from any of these reported symptoms. I encourage you to stay positive and optimistic. Also, keep me updated about your progress. As promised, am always available yo address your concerns and guide as appropriate.
Until next, be good.

Thank you, I will definitely try to drink more water and eat smaller more frequent meals. The diarrhea happens on and off, but sometimes daily for a few days in a row. I eat a pretty balanced diet and get a lot of protein, so I don’t know if that’s it. I’m adopted but I know my birth mother has IBS- not totally sure what it is but I thought I should bring that up.
Brief Answer:
Thanks for bringing this up, IBS!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for mentioning the IBS issues to me. First things would be to watch the diet and see if the diarrhea may be associated with specific meal time. Keep a record of diarrhea and various meal to see if there may exist a component triggering this. If any is identified, start off by eliminating and let us see how this response. Ultimately, we can always use medications control diarrhea, if need be.
Am here and would appreciate updates as the roll in. Will always get back to you, promptly with helpful details. Never hesitate reaching out if need be.
